Court rejects request to presume economic insufficiency, ruling the law only sets a limit to existing presumptions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court of Portugal dismissed Maria Abreu's claim against the Director of the Medical Legal Institute of Coimbra. Abreu argued that the law should automatically presume her economic insufficiency, while the Director contended that the statute merely restricts, rather than creates, such a presumption. The court ruled that Article 20/2 of Law DL 387-B/87 does not establish a new presumption but instead acts as a limit to the presumption found in Article 20/1-c).
